Summer Vacation

We went to Destin, Florida for summer vacation. It was heavenly! I've never seen a more clear ocean and white sand. My Mom & Dad went with us. They often go on beach cruise ships and even my mom agreed that Destin had the best sand! The 6 of us rented a mini van and road tripped it there! 

 Going there was a smoother ride since we left during the night while the kids slept. It took about 14 hours but we stopped for 2 in New Orleans for breakfast at one of our favorites, Cafe Du Monde! Nola has a special place in my parent's hearts since that was where they Honey Mooned.

 Violet and Zander played in the sand every day. I'd say that was their favorite.

 One of my new favorite pictures. Violet and Zander look way too cute! And Daddy is in the background. And that beautiful ocean.

 Both of the kids were very timid of the water. The waves were loud and Zander is sensitive to strange sounds. They always wanted to be held to get in the water. By the 5th day on the beach Violet was brave enough to get in the deep water & swim with floaties. She giggled with delight! We all clapped for her.

So Long Destin! We must meet again!
